Lebanon’s state of collapse has become the country’s new normal.

Inflation is soaring, and the Lebanese lira is almost worthless, pushing more than 80 percent of the population into poverty. Institutions and basic services have broken down.

Lebanese Economy Minister Amin Salam talks to Al Jazeera.
